Title: Unexpected Places 3 Rating: PG Length: 253 words Competitor: Buri Round/Fight: 2/D Summary: Buri and Kel become friends.
The small room was crowed with books, scrolls, weapons and household items. “Squire, you said?” Buriram moved aside a heap of fabric, clearing one side of a wooden bench. “Sit. Does your knight-master know you're here?”
“Not exactly,” Kel admitted. She made her way to the bench, careful not to knock anything over, as Buriram sat in the one chair that had been clear all along. “He gave me the morning off, and I...” She shrugged. “I wanted to meet you,” she finished lamely.
“Here I am.” Buriram spread out her hands. After a pause, she continued. “So you know Alan of Trebond?”
“I was raised at Trebond,” Kel explained. “I was fostered there, after my mother died. I know Lord Alan quite well, my lady.” She put the faintest emphasis on the word 'lord,' certain that Buriram would pick up on the fact that they both knew her patron's true identity.
“Call me Buri.” Suddenly she grinned, her eyes lively. “So she did it again, did she?” She reached across the space between them to grip Kel's bicep. “Look at you! Much more convincing than 'Alan' ever was – does anyone else know?”
Kel shook her head. “Only folk from Trebond – Coram, Lord Alan, and a fellow named George.”
“That rascal!” Buri laughed. “I'm glad you found me, squire. We'll have to spend more time together.”
Kel found herself grinning, too. “I hope we can.”

I love this universe to death already. You handle it elegantly, with just the right amount of canon detail brought out for your own needs.
